“It continues to get better and more rewarding and fuller and more confident and all these things that I kind of never realized how much I had longed for until I had them,” Falco said in a recent interview. “I feel like it’s an ideal time to, I don’t know, to be me.”

After six seasons of playing mob wife Carmela on HBO’s “The Sopranos,” Falco now plays Jackie Peyton, an ER nurse addicted to prescription drugs, on Showtime’s “Nurse Jackie” (Sunday, 9 p.m. EDT). Season six finds Jackie in the throes of relapse.
